Background: Different cellular responses influence the progress of cancer. In this study, we have investigated the effect of hydrogen peroxide and quercetin induced changes on cell viability, apoptosis and oxidative stress in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells. Methods: The effects of hydrogen peroxide and quercetin on cell viability, cell cycle phases and oxidative stress related cellular changes were investigated. Cell viability was assessed by WST-1 assay. Apoptosis rate, cell cycle phase changes and oxidative stress were measured by flow cytometry. Protein expressions of p21, p27, p53, NF-Kβ-p50 and proteasome activity were determined by Western blot and fluorometry, respectively. Results: Hydrogen peroxide and quercetin treatment resulted in decreased cell viability and increased apoptosis in HepG2 cells. Proteasome activity was increased by hydrogen peroxide but decreased by quercetin treatment. Conclusion: Both agents resulted in decreased p53 protein expression and increased cell death by different mechanisms regarding proteostasis and cell cycle phases.

Introduction: Prolactinomas, also called lactotroph adenomas, are the most encountered type of hormone-secreting pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNET) in the clinic. The preferred first-line therapy is a medical treatment with dopamine agonists (DA), mainly cabergoline, to reduce serum prolactin levels, tumor volume, and mass effect. However, in some cases, patients have displayed DA-resistance with aggressive tumor behavior or are faced with recurrence after drug withdrawal. Also, currently used therapeutics have notorious side effects and impair the life quality of the patients. Methods: Since the amalgamation of clinical and laboratory data besides tumor histopathogenesis and transcriptional regulatory features of the tumor emerge to exhibit essential roles in the behavior and progression of prolactinomas, in this work, we integrated mRNA and microRNA (miRNA) level transcriptome data that exploit disease-specific signatures in addition to biological and pharmacological data to elucidate a rational prioritization of pathways and drugs in prolactinoma. Results: We identified eight drug candidates through drug repurposing based on mRNA-miRNA level data integration and evaluated their potential through in vitro assays in the MMQ cell line. Seven re-purposed drugs including 5-flourocytosine, nortriptyline, neratinib, puromycin, taxifolin, vorinostat, and zileuton were proposed as potential drug candidates for the treatment of prolactinoma. We further hypothesized possible mechanisms of drug action on MMQ cell viability through analyzing PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and cell cycle arrest via flow cytometry and western blotting. Discussion: We presented the transcriptomic landscape of prolactinoma through miRNA and mRNA level data integration and proposed repurposed drug candidates based on this integration. We validated our findings through testing cell viability, cell cycle phases, and PI3K/Akt protein expressions. Effects of the drugs on cell cycle phases and inhibition of PI3K/Akt pathway by all drugs gave us promising output for further studies using these drugs in the treatment of prolactinoma. This is the first study that reports miRNA-mediated repurposed drugs for prolactinoma treatment via in vitro experiments.

When exponentially growing CHO cells were deprived of arginine (Arg), cell multiplication ceased after 12 h, but initiation of DNA synthesis continued: after 48 h of starvation with continuous [3H]thymidine exposure, 85% of the population had incorporated label, as detected autoradiographically. Consideration of the distribution of exponential cells in the various cell cycle phases leads to a calculation that most cells in G1 at the time that Arg was removed, as well as those in S, engaged in some DNA synthesis during starvation. In contrast, isoleucine (Ile)-starved cells did not initiate DNA synthesis, as has been reported by others. Experiments with cells synchronized by mitotic selection confirmed this difference in Arg- and Ile- deprived behavior, but also showed that cells which underwent the mitosis leads to G1 transition during Arg starvation remained arrested in G1 (G0?). The results suggest that Arg-deprived cells continue to maintain some proliferative function(s) while Ile-deprived cells do not.

Abstract Background Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are the guarantor of the proper functioning of hematopoiesis due to their incredible diversity of potential. During aging, heterogeneity of HSCs changes, contributing to the deterioration of the immune system. In this study, we revisited mouse HSC compartment and its transcriptional plasticity during aging at unicellular scale. Results Through the analysis of 15,000 young and aged transcriptomes, we identified 15 groups of HSCs revealing rare and new specific HSC abilities that change with age. The implantation of new trajectories complemented with the analysis of transcription factor activities pointed consecutive states of HSC differentiation that were delayed by aging and explained the bias in differentiation of older HSCs. Moreover, reassigning cell cycle phases for each HSC clearly highlighted an imbalance of the cell cycle regulators of very immature aged HSCs that may contribute to their accumulation in an undifferentiated state. Conclusions Our results establish a new reference map of HSC differentiation in young and aged mice and reveal a potential mechanism that delays the differentiation of aged HSCs and could promote the emergence of age-related hematologic diseases.
